A few days ago I shared some news that the Eurovision song from Israel would be named “Your land is mine now” to later realize it was from an onion kind of website, lol.

I hope I’m not alone in this kind of f’up.

      It comes from the phrase “ate it up” (meaning to gullibly believe something) and The Onion, one of the most famous satirical ‘news’ outlets.

      It means to believe a satirical news piece.

      I Can’t comment as to the “erll” qualifier, but I have seen the expression used before inregards to not seeing the satire in a satire article.

      EDIT: No edits. The above stays as it stands, purely out of spite.
